ISS Solar Transit 13th July

Even though it was Friday the 13th I had a lot of luck !

Cloud & rains for days weeks months

A gap in the cloud at just the right time

DMK21+IR Filter+0.5 FR+Baader Solar Film filter on 80mm F8 Refractor

WOW, what a stroke of luck that the clouds cleared!

That's a great shot, focus looks spot on, and the exposure is also very good.

You must be very happy with that! I would be.

How do you calculate when your going to get a transit at your location?

Very nice. You managed a lot of frames per sec there. I've tred a few times with a webcam, and only manage to get about 6 images as it transits. Drat for selling my DFK!

By the way, I get my transit data from Calsky.

Don't look now, but someone has fitted the Sun with a zip

Thanks Guys

I used Calsky and also Google Earth Streetview to check if there are any trees or buildings in the way.

For focusing I used the technique described in this post
